EVALUATION ION
Ill-.` DISCUS�IQN d� ENVTRONMEN'r`AL
This,mountain recreation subdivision, identified as Berry Creek Ranch
Estates, will, be' located on 140+ acres of predominantly gentle ridge_
top terrain with readily available access from Bald Rock Road.- The
proposed access and interior circulation roads currently exist; Jgtko
Road off Bald `Rock Road and numerous older logging roads. The parcels
were designed with the-`intent of utilizing these existing logging roads
for access to :each parcel. The 'proposed parcels have sufficient build-
able area considering: the gentle terrain, deep soil ,”°relatively large
3 to i acres each
parcel sires ( each), and existi.c`g access roads .
1(b) (c); Minimal soil disturbance and site alteration is expected
from development of the property since the interior access roads„cur-
rently exist, ,and FlAnce these"� roads will be improved by the develop-
mens: widening and surfaced with gravel and an oil seal coating, Suit-
able building sites exist on the 36 parcels near these exi9ting roads.
Only a few spur cul-de-sac roads will be developed, which will be
aligned with the natural terrain, as the design indicates.
l(e), (f) Mountain regions consisting of decomposed granite soils are
susceptible toerosion, and therefore erosion pot8nt.ial is a concern.
However, these soils are relatively stable due to their clay content
and the gentle terrain. This site is gentle ridge-top land`which has
%existing logging roads traversing the area. 'Very .little past erosion,
has occurred on these roads. Therefore, erosion of access roads is
not likely to occur since this project will result in upgrading of the
existing roads, reducing erosion potential, on those previously graded
areas. Residential development of the site will not likely cause
erosion since the terrain is gentle, since access exists to the parcels,
and since the major portion of each parcel will likelyremain undevelop-
ed or undisturbed since the parcels are relatively Large. The,various
conservation measures suggested in the appendix will help reduce ero-
sicn potential.
5(b) Density' of development will be"' low. 'xherefore, coffering'" of the
soil with mperv4wus surfaces (roads, driveways, bui:j,dings etc.) which
generage increased runo`tf will be minimal. Since 'the 'interior roads al-
ready exist': for the most` part, runoff increases from road development
will be minimal.. Any land areas disturbed or exposed during develop-
ment should be stabilized with plantings or other., protective measures
to reduce runoff and erosion potential. Drainage canbe readily accom-
modated on-site and off-site by°'natural infiltration of
precipitation
into the decomposed granite soil and by natural swales leading to inter-
mittent-stream channels to the south. The natural drainage patterns of;`"
the area should not be affected if the majortiy of the natural tion is retained and the site improvements do not block any: naturae

'3(h): Locally -recharged .groundwater resourses exist at relatively'
moderate depths (loot feet) . These sources are ah undapt considering.
the high rainfall, and good soil infiltration rates, and should be
sufficient f;or residential development at this density.
4(�,a)« The site is forested, undeveloped land. Some of the timber was
removed from l`the site several years, ago, leaving an open forest environ
ment. Residential development on the 3• -to 7 -acre parcels will not sig-
nificantly alter this forest cover since density of development ment will
be low.
\4�(c), (d) This genera] region supporf6 abundant wildlife populations
(Transition Life Zone typically provides good,shabitat for a wide range
4'�,f animals)," though the specific value, of �hr�il property for wildlife
�� unknown. Development of these ridge -tap' lands' at the proposed den-
\\
S3 \\t, could reduce wildlife habitat and interferewith deer migration to
La�,\e Oroville,' 3 miles +o the south. The Cal ifornnia Department of'.
Fish and Game considers residential development on smaller than 20 -acre
parcels to be detrimental to wildlife" po'pulation's - the wildlife are
di;cliuraged from utilizing areas with higher humanpapulation densities.
Disp&rsed rural residential use that -currently exists in the area to
the h6vth near Bald Rock Road (h -acre to 2 -acre parcels) may have a1
ready`educed this locality's habitat value.
6(a) ),dditional rural residential noise: will be increased in the area,
particuf4 l.y from increased traffic. However;, the Bala Rock Road area
currently,, has considerable development and existing noise,''
I ,
1,1: Additi onal residential use Will be generated in a relatively
sparsely populated locality since the property and much of the sure
rounding area is undeveloped, natural envirori',ment However, the site
is near the Bald Rock Road rural -residential corridorh mule to the
Vp0
l:3(a) ,- ` raffic increases from 3'6' additional residences
'" in the area will result from this project, perhaps
1 increasing local average daily traffic volumes by 70-100 vehicles..The1977 traffic volume count on,Bald Rock Road was 626 ALIT just east of
the Oro -Quincy Highway intersection. Since this project will provide
mountain recreational properties, traffic circulation should be lower
th
an typical for resideitial use,
13(d) Access to and interior t4rcul:aiion within the sito, currently
exists. Winter snow conditions 'may restrict access to the'parc:els
during portions of the year.
14: Minimal public services exist in: this rural, isolated ,area of
Butte County. The Oroville area lies 15-20 miles away where most
services are availaible. Local fire protection is :available, seasonally
from the Hartz Mill Forest Fire station and from the Volunteer Company
of Berry Creek (Sugar Pines Store):

SUGGESTED MITIGATION MEASURES
1:.
Any grading should be',.,stabiliied by planting, riprapping, or .
other effective means to control erosion.
2,
All storm water runoff channels should be stabilized by instal-
lation of culverts, riprap, energy -dissipating structureso or-
other effective means that will prevent erosion".
3>
Properly sized and installed culverts should be placed in any,
drainage courses crossed by; roads or driveway
4.
Earthwork should be scheduled accordi� to
n'g to weather conditions
and season to minimize erosion (eg. only during the dry
summer season). Work in pragress must be stabilized against in-
clement weather c,enditions,.
5.
The natural ,Vegetation should be reserve
g preserved ivherever possible,io
mitigate thn erosion potential and to maintain the characte" 'of
the area: f,
Exposed soil surfaces should be revegetated,
s
7.
if any archaeological sites, artifacts, or subsurface cultural
objects are encountered or discovered during aevrl,4pment of the'
property, a professional archaeologist shall be contacted im-
mediately to survey the find prior to further disturbance. q
8.
Meet Che requirements of the Butte County Fire. De�iartinent. Pro- r�
Vide a water supply with a capacity of a min.imum.5'00 gallons per
f%
minute for two hours for ,residential development on the site or
water storage tanks of sufficient capacity (as per Butte County`
Eire Department stipulations).
9
Meet tie requirements of the Butte County Envi.ronmenta];r,Health
De`parthent for domestic sewage disposal and domestic water,
supply)) (("ounty Subdivision Ordinance Standards) .
10.
Perimeter fencing which would serve as a barrierhkq wildlife
mi gration should not be installed.
